hi guys

we have vericut fixed by CGTech technical support (excellent support)so now

verification is showing correct tool movement, same as the machine.

as I expected, control def. for G43.4 was modified.

I could show video from verification but I do not know how to attached file

to this post.

yes, but 5 axis G code is totally wrong, only 3 axis toolpaths are O.K.

I do not know if this is my post or mastercam .

Hi guys

is it possible import nci file from 5 axis toolpaths and reposted to nc code?

guys, G54.4P1 is no problem, we are using this function

(Workpiece Setup Error Correction)  in hundreds programs

without any problem, we shift workoffset Z0 point using variable

#5813 in program header

#3200=3
#5223=#3212/100000
 
#5813=-5.4764(VISE Z)<<******************

so, the real problem is G43.4 (tool tip point control) in vericut

that did not show tool reposition when G43.4 is active.

Bob, you are absolutely right, so far I did not have the problem like that

because at the beginning of using Mazak variaxis (3 years ago) I modified our mastercam Mazak post 

and vericat control to match machine control but, I always use furs tool change

at 5axis milling and null tool change in mastercam,

what happened last week was new young programmer  and his believe that vericut

is 100% accurate.

in the past we run hundreds programs in this mode

and never had problems with G5P0 and G64,

I check my programs in vericut and so far I did not have

issue like that,

just to add, in vericut control, driven point zero and axis orientation should not be

changed and rotated when G43.4 is active, but tool tip point control during rotation

should be recalculated and vericut must show that.

I tried to find macro for that and add to G43.4 spec. in control 

but so far no lack.

Joe788, I know wat happened and why, but

I am looking for solution in vericut control file

for mazatrol matrix to cutch the possibility of

crash that happened.

guys, in vericut all options were set on,

warnings,colision detection, travel limits ect.

so fare we did not have any problems with vericut,

this software is really excellent.

crash happened because programmer did not forse tool change

at null tool change when full 5 axis was running.

We cut the part running MAZAK VARIAXIS 630-5X-II with mazatrol matrix control.

With G54.4P1 and G43.4H22 active, machine was cutting 5ax swarf toolpath and at null tool, machine

rotated table and control recalculated tool position on X,Y and Z axis so machine

moved on all axis, but in the program there is not linear axis move.

We check the  program in Vericut , but Vericut DID NOT show that recalculation and tool movement.

HUGE CRASH!! $40,000 spindle. In the middle of the program!

Does anybody have idea how to fix mazatrol matrix control

to show this movement?
Thanks,

couple whys:

1. why in tool manager mouse mid button + alt is steal dynamic pan, but in mastercam

    is changed to mid button + shift?

2. why in tool manager I can not activate dynamic tool projection ruler?

3. why in mastercam, when I start new file, mastercam is not link to default 

    material library set in configuration file?

do not double click on mcx file; just single click and O.K.

Hi Guys

in high speed dynamic area toolpath should I use G5 P2 (Mazak high speed) in the program or no?

Thanks

Hi all corrupted tools.

You have this problem becouse in old MC X file you changed machine group name;

Mastercam X7 tool manager is working O.K. if your machine groupe is as defoult;

for ex: Machine Groupe-1, Machine Groupe-2, so on:

Machine Groupe-1 is in Mastercam X config as user defined, so

in old files you have to change machine group name to this, but not manually;

create new machine group with new name as defoult Machine Groupe-1

and copy and paist toolpaths from old machine to the new groupe

yea, i know, but i do not have internet on my mastercam workstation

company restrictions

hi guys

cruch mastercam X6 MU1?, no problema:

toolpath, multiaxis-> curve 5 axis

select tool

select holder

cut patern->3D curves->select->chain

tool axis control->chain->select->chain

colision control->on selected curve

linking-> whatever

roughing-BOOM!!!-YOU ARE OUT

selekting parameters in order from top to bottom

as logical way is not what you expect

btw, mastercam X4 and X5 is O.K.

just draw the circle with rad 2. at intersection y axis and your big ciscle,

then draw the line from that small circle centre to intercection with big one.

what i do:

1.turn all levels on

2.select toolpath

3.in toolpath manager select "only display associative geometry"

4.analize entity

and you've got it

in X4 after editing material i could save it as new material to library,

but in X5 it is not working; i can not save to library as new; well, X5 is showing

save mesage but material is not there

anybody seen that?
